Subject: Which group id?

Suppose I have a directory whose group id is "student." My set of group
id includes "student" but the group id in my passwd entry is
"graduate". If I write a file into the directory, what group id
will be set to this file?

        Under Linux: it's "graduate."
        Under SunOS: it's "student."

Which is correct? I think SunOS is right. Opinions?
